review 1: Nouvelle escrita por Mankell tiempo atrás, con vistas a una edición neerlandesa, permaneció inédita hasta que el autor dió por terminada la saga de Wallander. Su inclusión como argumento en la serie televisiva protagonizada por K. Branagh motivó al autor a publicarla en papel. Una historia amable, que funciona como extra o colofón de la saga de novelas protagonizadas por el detective diabético (cronológicamente la historia se ubica antes de El hombre inquieto). Si bien no se trata de una obra destacada en la producción del escritor sueco, da la oportunidad a los lectores nostalgiosos de volver sobre los personajes. Completa la edición una nota final en la que Mankell comenta la génesis de la saga y su acercamiento narrativo al género n... moreegro.
review 2: An Event in Autumn, by Henning Mankell, a-minus, Narrated by Simon Vance, Produced by Random House Audio, downloaded from audible.com.This is more of a novella or long short story. Very good as usual.After nearly thirty years in the same job, Inspector Kurt Wallander is tired, restless, and itching to make a change. He is taken with a certain old farmhouse,perfectly situated in a quiet countryside with a charming, overgrown garden. There he finds the skeletal hand of a corpse in a shallow grave. Wallander'sinvestigation takes him deep into the history of the house and the land, until finally the shocking truth about a long-buried secret is brought to light. less

It took me eighty minutes to read this story. It was entertaining, and totally in character.

Mankell's interview at the end about his Wallender character was a nice bonus.
